ObjectiveTo assess cumulative survival rates and identify independent predictors of mortality in patients with incident systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who had undergone routine screening for PAH at SSc centers in the US.MethodsThe Pulmonary Hypertension Assessment and Recognition of Outcomes in Scleroderma registry is a prospective registry of SSc patients at high risk for PAH or with definite pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by right-sided heart catheterization within 6 months of enrollment. Only patients with World Health Organization group I PAH (mean pulmonary artery pressure 25 mm Hg and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 15 mm Hg without significant interstitial lung disease) were included in these analyses.ResultsIn total, 131 SSc patients with incident PAH were followed for a mean SD of 2.0 +/- 1.4 years. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year cumulative survival rates were 93%, 88%, and 75%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, age >60 years (hazard ratio [HR] 3.0, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.1-8.4), male sex (HR 3.9, 95% CI 1.1-13.9), functional class (FC) IV status (HR 6.5, 95% CI 1.8-22.8), and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco)
